Help heat damage

[Kokeman1987]

i need some serious help this happened after a 100-degree day and I don't know how to help it recover what do I do

 

[CrazyChef]

Leave it - it'll be fine. Cannabis is a naturally occurring plant, and is able to deal with/recover from various types of climate conditions.

Should I trim off these leaves that are curling up

 

[CrazyChef]

Nope. It's only one day. She'll bounce back on her own.

Is the soil dry? May not hurt the keep her hydrated, just in case.

Welcome to 420,Kokeman

I'm assuming you grow outside? (more info would be nice)
If you are outside,You need to try and keep that pot (can?) cooler-paint it white,or cover it with white towels or something,and cover the soil also-
If the temp is 100,the pot and the soil in it can easily get hot enough to cook and kill the roots.
And that metal can it's in doesn't help...
In the ground,this isn't a problem,for obvious reasons.

They tend to recover on their own (to large extent), assuming conditions improve fairly quickly. What you can do is get it into a larger container so that it can grow a larger root system, which will better allow the plant to take in moisture and transpire moisture via the tiny pores in the undersides of its leaves, which are called stomata. This, especially in the presence of a good wind (fan, indoors), is how oak trees survive those hot Summer days - and why a large one can easily use 50 to 300 gallons of water per day.

Long term, if you expect to see high temperatures now and then, you could consider switching to a DWC hydroponic setup with a large reservoir, extreme aeration, and of course great airflow through the canopy. Then your plants will be even more efficient at this process (and have more water available). Decent-sized plants can and do transpire gallons of water per day when there is a need, assuming they have access to it.

Oops; I hadn't considered that possibility.

Maybe it's possible to transplant it directly into the ground?

I was replying purely on instinct - listen to @carcass, he's a well respected member here, and a LOT more knowledgeable than I am.

 

[Kokeman1987]

So leave the leaves that are curling up?

 

[Carcass]

They'll fall off on their own soon enough-but if they bother you,pull 'em

 

[Kokeman1987]

Yes it's solely outside IL going to put it in a bigger pot. Should I trim the leaves off that are curling up and browning

 

[Kokeman1987]

Quite a few are starting to curl up and it's worrying me bc it just started flowering

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Leave the leaf's

 

[Carcass]

I'd only remove the dried up dead ones-leave the "mostly dead" ones in case the plant is still using them.

Let the plant remove any nutrients it wants from the curling or Browning leaves. If you cut them off the plant might start pulling nutrients from other leaves and then you'll cut those off and so on and so on and then you're screwed. When the plant is done with them they will die and fall off okay.

Canadian?

 

[Kokeman1987]

Can anyone tell me what stage it's in this is my first grow

 

[Kokeman1987]

And possibly how much longer to harvest I know it's a while
